Function "get_sites()" requires WordPress 4.6.0, but your plugin minimum supported version is WordPress 4.0.0.
Using cURL functions is highly discouraged. Use wp_remote_get() instead.
strip_tags() is discouraged. Use the more comprehensive wp_strip_all_tags() instead.
A function call to __() with texts containing placeholders was found, but was not accompanied by a "translators:" comment on the line above to clarify the meaning of the placeholders.
print_r() found. Debug code should not normally be used in production.
Short PHP opening tag used with echo; expected "<?php echo $sdk_communication ..." but found "<?= $sdk_communication ..."
date() is affected by runtime timezone changes which can cause date/time to be incorrectly displayed. Use gmdate() instead.
Processing form data without nonce verification.
Direct database call without caching detected. Consider using wp_cache_get() / wp_cache_set() or wp_cache_delete().
wp_redirect() found. Using wp_safe_redirect(), along with the "allowed_redirect_hosts" filter if needed, can help avoid any chances of malicious redirects within code. It is also important to remember to call exit() after a redirect so that no other unwanted code is executed.
Using cURL functions is highly discouraged. Use wp_remote_get() instead.
In footer ($in_footer) is not set explicitly wp_enqueue_script; It is recommended to load scripts in the footer. Please set this value to `true` to load it in the footer, or explicitly `false` if it should be loaded in the header.
Translatable string should not be wrapped in HTML. Found: '<h4>Display Settings</h4>'
The $text parameter must be a single text string literal. Found: $plugin_title
